Created with remarkable precision and skill, this exquisite piece of art is rendered in very fine pen and wash on vellum. The intricate details of the design are truly awe-inspiring. Believed to be from Switzerland, this illuminated manuscript on vellum features chants for the Common Saints in Latin.
